Is it stamped "Ideal" or "Lyman"?

Ideal. I've also had Ideal HBWC molds with this type of hollowbase plug, and have seen an early 32 HB mold from the one-piece era that uses the same type of base plug. I'm currently resisting purchasing the 32 mold since I try not to buy molds for collection purposes. I actually prefer this early style to the later wooden handled types.

ETA: there are also no holes in the bottom of the mold to indicate that it ever had the other style plug setup.
